Task management is key to most project management software. Tasks may be called “issues” or “items,” but tools that change the terminology still work in much the same way. Tasks can be assigned to team members and scheduled. When they’re done, you can mark them as complete, so everyone can see what’s getting done. Many tools go further and allow you to break tasks into subtasks, with some offering full dependency management. That lets you make sure any tasks that depend on others are scheduled after those tasks, helping you avoid costly delays.
